No! LOL! I’m no Blues fan but I’m getting really tired of the sports media’s pro Boston/Original Six bias. The Bruins are a good team, but they’re not that good IMO, as evidenced by the last game! Comparing the Blues’ 60s teams to today’s crew led by Craig Berube is apples and oranges cooked up because the jagoff announcers just like to jack their jaws too much. It kind of sucks when you have to mute the TV just to enjoy the game!

Yes...the Flyers were hated not just because they were smashmouth rude, but because they creamed all the original 6 teams! That bias continues today...although the Flyers are soon to become beloved because they dispatched Kate Smith’s statue! HOW DARE she say God Bless America! See tagline

Do what I do whenever Joe buck is the announcer for a Red Sox vs Yankees game

Watch the broadcast on mute and listen to the local radio broadcast from the homer announcer for the audio :^)

Only long after. The Jets were the first AFC team to win the Super Bowl and it was considered quite the upset.

They were still the AFL then. The last pre-merger Super Bowl was SB IV when the Chiefs beat the Vikings.

Which always makes for a good trick question: How many NFL titles do the Vikings have? They do have one.

And don’t forget
Bill Weld
Ted Kennedy or
John Kerry

How spoiled is the Boston sports fan?

Saturday they will watch the 46th Play off game since last fall that a Boston team played in

Red Sox beat Yankees 3-1
Astros 4-1
And Dodgers 4-1

Patriots beat the Chargers, Chiefs and Rams

Celtics beat the Pacers 4-0 and lost to Bucks 4-1

Bruins beat Toronto 4-3 beat Columbus 4-2 beat Carolina 4-0 and are tied 1-1 with St. Louis

Ensuring the Boston sports fan will see at least 3 more games for a minimum of 49 playoff games, more than some fans have seen their teams compete in their entire teams history.

Gene Hart was the greatest play-by-play radio announcer EVER. Bar none.

Agreed, with Harry Kalas a very close second
